After a 16-month dry-dock overhaul period, the "Big E" (CVN-65) was back in service and at sea last week.  A scheduled "photo-op" of the Navy's oldest and newest nuclear carriers (Ronald Reagan) sailing together off the Va. Capes didn't come off because of bad weather.  According to the Big E's captain, the ship is in "her best condition in decades."

As Master Chief Oldknow put it, “Sailors belong on a ship, and a ship belongs out to sea.”
